If you wish to use these bitmaps on your own buttons in a dialog box:

  The bitmaps are in sets of six, to allow for VGA/EGA, pressing the button, and selecting.

  So for IDOK, the buttons are 1001, 2001, 3001, 4001, 5001, 6001.

  To use the bitmaps on the buttons for IDOK, use the button from the BWCC tools in
  workshop.  On setting the ID to IDOK (or 1), you should see the bitmap on the button.

  To define your own buton bitmaps, you need to provide one each of the 1xxx, 2xxx, ...
  6xxx where xxx is your ID for that button.

Of course, you must also ensure that your program starts the BWCC.DLL as well.  I don't
know if you need to have the dialog as a bordlg type though.
